Omegon Guidescope Microspeed Autoguiding Set 50/200 with 462 M Camera

Omegon Guidescope Microspeed Autoguiding Set 50/200 with 462 M: autoguiding complete out of the box

Assembling autoguiding from separate parts means puzzling over connections and backfocus. This set takes that away: the Microspeed guidescope 50/200 and the monochrome 462 guide camera are matched to each other and complete with mounting hardware.

Connect, select guide star, calibrate, and the mount is kept on track all night. For most setups up to approximately 1000 mm focal length, this is all that guiding requires.

The guidescope

50 mm aperture at f/4, multi-coated, with the 10 mm travel Microspeed worm-gear focuser. The camera focuses smoothly and without backlash, and holds its focus.

The monochrome 462 camera

The monochrome sensor is more sensitive than a color version and can therefore see fainter guide stars. For guiding, where color adds nothing, mono is the rational choice.

Complete mounting material

Tube rings, dovetail and T2-coupling are included in the box. The set mounts on standard dovetail clamps and finder shoes.

Included

• Microspeed guidescope 50/200
• Monochrome 462 guide camera
• Bushing rings and dovetail
• T2 mount (M42 x 0.75)

Featured accessories

For autoguiding on mounts with a guiding port or via software like PHD2. Suitable up to approximately 1000 mm focal length of the main telescope.

For whom yes and for whom no

• ✓ Astrophotographers who want guiding completely all at once
• ✓ Who does not want to search for connections
• ✓ Beginner deep-sky astrophotographers with a GoTo mount
• ✗ Very long focal lengths: consider the 60 mm guider or an off-axis guider
• If you already own a guide camera, the standalone guidescope is sufficient.
